I thought that must be the case but he played reserves yesterday. Not having Jimmy in the side last night was a bit of a head-scratcher.
I still see plenty of upside in him tbhDmac may or may not make it. The club have seen enough to keep him.on the list.
Was it a mistake? I guess we'll find out over the next few years.
You sound like you could use a nice belly rub TBH.We should roll him onto his back & give him a belly rub like a puppy for being a good boy & not fumbling
only 48 games played, has the attributes, goes hard, wouldn't be on much coin. Hard to fault it even as depth/trade bait
An autopsy thread turned to s**t. Well done champ. You got your attention.I need to see results to prove that things are different under Ratten. Like I showed you the score line between the Melb and Adelaide games is very similar.
Can you show me results where things have changed?
We need to move away from feel and talk and more to action and results.
If Ratten can demonstrate that I'll change my opinion and fall in line. Until then I'm not convinced
Those points are not contradictory btw. One is what I think will happen if he is appointed. We have already played a border line top 8 side on the weekend gone. We have done it previously this season. Ratten was running the pre season program when richo was away. He's had heavy input into all areas according to the club. I think they know what they're gonna get from him. I don't rate his work with our fwd this year, just like you didn't earlier in the year. I still think he'd be a good senior assistant though. There's more than one line to coach and more than one role.
Until I see results I'm not sold and you know what I reckon the club should be looking at it the same way. Comparing those Melb and Adelaide games to previously in the year understanding Ratten was there in there in the pre season just gone.
I mean who do you want George...
fair enough, I think he probably IS on more coin than he deserves, but richo had no say in selecting him this weekend, that was rats, so that means they're both wrong. I think he could still be a playerHasn’t shown enough to be on an AFL list IMO. The three year deal reminds me of the Richo extension. He’s probably on around 400k PA, the bloke has won the lottery.

I reckon he’d be closer to $200k.Hasn’t shown enough to be on an AFL list IMO. The three year deal reminds me of the Richo extension. He’s probably on around 400k PA, the bloke has won the lottery.

all good. I agree that save for injuries he isn't currently best 22, but injuries are a fact of footy life for all teams (apart from the bloody team we played yesterday )Apparently was one of our worst for Sandy last weekend but with the injuries to Geary, Webster & Paton he got a call up. Looks to behind those blokes along with Savage, Coffield & Clark as the small-medium defenders. He’s probably only ahead of White for his position. Says it all really. I’m not having a personal go at him & if it seems like that I apologise. Facts are, ATM he’s nowhere near best 22.
Long - 4 disposals, 1 tackle
Lonie - 8 disposals, 25% DE
Brown - 8 disposals, no real match-up
Parker - 11 disposals, 54% DE, ZERO tackles
Bruce - 1.3
Langlands - 11 disposals, 45% DE, 5 clangers, 2 tackles
Sinclair - 13 disposals
It's amazing that we were even in the game when you take in the above, very hard to win any game of football with so many players unable to impact the game.
Plenty of spots up for grabs for next week.
I wouldn’t be opposed to trading him and going after Ben king or Alex Keath as a replacement. With battle, Marsh, Austin, Joyce and Clav I feel we have enough to cover him. His good games have been few and far between in saints colours
Looked like more of the same that we are used too. Same problems. I don't see much difference between richo and Ratten beyond length of tenure.
They're pretty much the same. Ratts himself said that.
An autopsy thread turned to s**t. Well done champ. You got your attention.
If you enjoy it then good for you.no discussion allowed! Or else!
Round 20 Adelaide vs st kilda: 92 vs 70
Round 5 st kilda vs adelaide: 68 vs 97
What an improvement!
Round 4 Melbourne vs st kilda: 55 vs 95
Round 19 st kilda vs Melbourne: 104 vs 85
So yeah slight increase in score but leaking more. Ever slightly in Adelaide. More pronounced vs Melbourne.
Scoring over 100 means literally nothing. It's just an arbitrary line in the sand. What you need to look at is score for vs score against.
I couldn't care if we kick 95 vs 104 in the Melbourne game. 9 points mean nothing. The amount we started to concede is the bigger issue but we win yay. Likewise couldn't care if we score 2 more points vs adelaide. We still didn't close the gap. We lose which is bad.
Carlisle isn’t A grade I’m affraid. Barely B grade to be honest. Has played about 5 B + grade level games since we’ve had him.Four D grade defenders don't = one A grade defender...
I wonder when people will take the rose coloured glasses off , our list is average at best , yes all the stars that people bang on about on here are not really stars , just good average footballers , good luck to any coach taking us on its going to be a tough gig IMO
If he is on 400k does that make him half as good as hannersI reckon he’d be closer to $200k.
The average current player salary is around $380k.
DMac is not an average AFL player.
Still has won the lottery on that basis though.
Yeah how dare Gilbo retire and Lonie and Dunstan come good.48 more than I was ever good enough to play.
Now that Mav is gone, I guess some people need a new player to bag.
That handball DMac gave off to Lonie for the goal. I’ve watched that a few times & come to the same conclusion every time.... Be where the Crows player was, ie: in front of your opponent. Just unlucky that it bounced him & went straight to DMac who was clearly in the wrong position but was ultimately fortuitous in this instance. Definitely not worth claiming this as a great play by DMac, more arsey as fu** than anything else
